Compromise
Finding a mutual sacrifice zone via intensity reduction
Definition
Mechanism
Iterative Negotiation Protocol. Each Agent states preferences with INTENSITY scores (0-1). The System computes DISSONANCE (Sum(Intensity_A * Intensity_B)). To reach consensus, agents must Dampen their preference intensity until Dissonance < Threshold. Unlike Yield (which is binary surrender), Compromise is a continuous reduction of demand.
